There is a reason why Justice is Blind,
She refuses to look in the eyes of the wrongfully accused,
She holds the scales knowing the poor are unbalanced,
The sword to slay whomever she chooses.
Touch the scales on both sides you must be white,
Who wants to be a witness?
They will make you an accomplice when you are right.
Being black makes me question my existence,
It would take more than a dream to convict me if I was white.
Being black means prison is a part of life,
That’s why Justice is blind,
She never has to deal with the heartbreak of sight.
She can take the life of the innocent,
It’s not her fault she cannot see,
Although she makes the same mistakes twice.
